3rd party software for changing the size of graphics and font?

Paul Miller · 10-11-2014, 12:56 AM

Greetings. I've been enjoying using the Kobo reading app on my android-based tablet, but I'm frustrated by two things. First, the font does not get large enough for my taste, though this depends somewhat on the book I'm reading. Second, when I change the font size, graphic elements, e.g. pictures, charts, tables, don't get bigger.

So does anyone know of a program I could load onto my table that gives the Kobo app more flexibility in terms of font size and/or size of graphics?

Thanks!
Paul

I am pretty sure that nothing would make he kobo app do what you want it to, maybe manually editing the epub files with different attributes for the fonts and images, but you'd have to remove the drm of the files (if it has any) and learn some html and stuff like that.

Thanks, Catire and nightboy. I think I'll have to live with it given that getting into modification software seems a little over my head! :-)

Do you have any accessibility options on the settings of your device? You might just need to set a different size to use as default and then the Kobo app will use that as the default, allowing the later sizes to be bigger than what they normally would be.
